An Overview

Active lifestyle wireless music and chats

With the Creative WP-250 Bluetooth® headphones with “invisible mic”, not only can you make

and receive phone calls wirelessly, you can enjoy your favorite tracks on the move. Designed

for today's active lifestyles, the WP-250 has an in-ear, behind-the-neck design that offers a

secure fit during any physical activity. It also features an invisible microphone for pristine-clear,

hands-free phone conversations.

With Bluetooth connectivity, nothing gets in your way - including tangled wires! - so you can

stay focused on your workout while immersed in clear wireless music. Adding to the WP-250's

superior audio qualities are acoustically tuned Neodymium micro drivers. Ideal for use with

compatible stereo Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones or MP3 players, you'll also enjoy basic

remote control operations like play, pause and skip track.

That's not all. A flexi-memory neckband provides a secure fit when worn and can be neatly

coiled for travel. A fully charged battery offers hours of uninterrupted music listening and talk

time - more than enough for that gym workout or hitting the streets!

Key Highlights

Flexi-memory neckband is rigid enough to support a sturdy

wearable frame while at the same time, supple enough to flex

according to the head size of the listener. It can also be coiled

into an ultra-compact package for travel purpose

mobile audio devices such as music phones,
